stamocl Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I applied to Auburn's TPC MA program and was accepted last Tuesday (3/15). Has anyone applied to Auburn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molksiazkowy Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 I applied to Auburn's TPC MA program and was accepted last Tuesday (3/15). Congrats! I was accepted in mid-February, which really surprised me. Are you considering their offer? I like Auburn well enough, and it's an excellent fit for me, but I'm worried about their ranking.

stamocl Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Likewise! What program did you apply to and are you MA or PhD? I'm considering their offer, but am leaning heavily towards my other offers.

I've received better offers but Auburn has a faculty member who really interests me, so I'm going to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, funding is a huge part in the decision process for me and a fully funded offer elsewhere is pulling me in the other direction. I'm interested to hear your thoughts after your visit!

Sorry to come from nowhere, but I have a vested interest in the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tothemoon Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 So did you end up accepting or finding out more about funding from Auburn? Sorry to come from nowhere, but I have a vested interest in the outcome. I accepted their offer. Their funding for MA students, considering the relatively low cost of living in Auburn, the preparation they provide for teaching classes, and the TA workload itself, is generous--especially because it's difficult to find programs with strong departments that fund their MAs.

Glad that things worked out well! What's your field of interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
